Need internal antenna AC 7260 HMW

[LCorr3]

Hello. I appreciate any helpful comments. I purchased an Intel AC 7260 wireless adapter to use in a new build desktop computer. The sales person stated it will work in the motherboard PCIe 3.0 X 1 card slot. All that I received was the adapter itself - no instructions or hardware including no internal antenna. I need to find a source for a desktop internal antenna for my AC 7260 HMW. Thanks again.

If you have the option of getting something else, you may want to consider doing so.
